Finding Hope

A Birthmother's Journey Into the Light

De: Hope O Baker

Narrado por: Hope O Baker

At 21-years-- old, Hope O Baker made one of the hardest decisions a person can make: She placed her son for adoption. She lived with her son's adoptive mother while she was pregnant and pursued an open adoption. After her son was born, Hope tried to resume her life.

But the difficulty of letting her child go gnawed at Hope. Even though she had it together on the outside - graduating college and excelling in her career - on the inside she was battling a destructive cycle of depression and addiction. When life was at its darkest, Hope managed to find her way back to the light. It's a journey she continues to this day.

Now, in this love letter to her son, Hope shows how messy and chaotically beautiful adoption can be, by sharing the authentic details of her remarkable story. From her struggles, you'll see how community can help you rebuild and be reminded of how important it is to find your voice and speak up for what you need when life hands you unexpected difficulties.

Absolutely Stunning and so well written and spoken

This is absolutely amazing! I felt like I was right next to Hope in her journey 🥰 Thank you so much for being a voice for birth momma's!!!

Sobering

Raw. Very raw. Eye-opening. We adopted our daughter 3 yrs ago. Open adoption but for mistakes on both sides we’ve not heard much from her in that time. I pray to make better decisions and repair our relationship with her. For our daughter, for her and us. I love her dearly for the gift she gave but this insight. Wow.

Raw truth dressed in naked honesty

A story that can help those battling similar demons... life lessons that can resonate with us all.

Vulnerable, Brut-iful

What a courageous woman Hope E. is in this story! So raw and beautiful and painful and hopeful. Thank you for sharing your experience with the world and with this hopeful adoptive mom. Love and light to you, Hope E.
